The Medical City Partners with Department of Tourism to Boost Medical and Wellness Tourism in the Philippines
Medical tourism is a growing industry worldwide, and the Philippines is positioning itself as a premier destination for medical and wellness tourism in Asia. The partnership between The Medical City (TMC) and the Department of Tourism (DOT) is a significant step towards achieving this goal.
With the signing of the memorandum of agreement (MOA), TMC and DOT are working together to highlight the unique blend of modern medical services and traditional wellness practices available in the country. This partnership not only benefits the healthcare industry but also contributes to economic growth by creating job opportunities and increasing tourism receipts.
The Philippines has so much to offer in terms of cultural heritage, landscapes, and biodiversity, making it an ideal destination for medical tourists looking for a holistic wellness experience. Visitors can immerse themselves in the local culture, enjoy culinary delights, and participate in wellness activities that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
The synergy between tourist attractions and medical services in the Philippines offers a one-of-a-kind wellness journey that sets it apart from other destinations. With the global medical tourism industry expected to reach over $207 billion by 2030, the Philippines is well-positioned to capitalize on this growing market.
The DOT is actively promoting wellness tourism in the country, encouraging facilities to incorporate traditional Filipino practices like hilot into their offerings. This not only showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Philippines but also enhances the overall wellness experience for visitors.
Overall, the partnership between TMC and DOT is a win-win for both the healthcare and tourism industries in the Philippines. By leveraging each other’s strengths and resources, they are creating a sustainable model that will benefit the country’s economy and position it as a top medical and wellness tourism destination in Asia.
